Biological Criminal Psychopathology.......I gag on it.

How do I come up with 3000 words on that? I barely understand it! :wacko:

2... that's right, TWO STEMIs yesterday, and an NSTEMI the day before. I get ATLEAST 2-3 chest pains each shift. Oh well, I got to do a Nitro drip (which sucked doing math at 4am [let alone ANY time of day]).


The NSTEMI also progressed pretty quickly and got a cath lab call right when we got in to the ER.

A jackhammer would be way over 100 compression per minute. Wonder if it would puncture the thoracic cavity as well. I'm sure someone here knows the answer to this.

The faster the better, as long as you are getting chamber refill between compressions.

Apparently LD50 for caffeine is 192mg/kg... I wonder if I can hit that today... I feel like I need that much caffeine to drive back to TX today.

Start by looking up brain abnormalities associated with Antisocial Personality Disorder/conduct disorder... that alone could get you that wordcount. You can also try impulse control issues associated with damage to the prefrontal cortex, Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, and so on.

Most of the Wikipedia articles on those subjects have good reference links.

I am at LAX patiently awaiting my flight to denver. boulder has no idea what is coming, time to teach these college kids a lesson on how to rage!! I just have to save a portion of my liver for the mountains this week :unsure:


edit: and no I am not going to tell the stewardess anything. I am going to sit quietly and read my book unless someone is actively dieing.

Would a jackhammer puncture the thoracic cavity? <_< Hmmmmm......I wonder. I suppose it depends on the bit you use. ^_^

And yes, a jackhammer is way over 100 a minute. The average industrial hammer fires something on the order of 10-20 times a second. That is 600-1200 a minute. Or fast enough to do CPR on 6-12 people as once, right?

Lol, Boulder people don't know how to party. All they do is smoke pot and listen to Phish records

That's what I do. I fly quite a bit and only once have I ever had to do anything. And there was an ER doc there with me within 30 seconds.

I fly often and have never had to do anything. Unless you count being nice to various terrified, lonely, and socially awkward seatmates, which I think should count as some kind of volunteer work. For certain ones, I think the airline should've paid me...

Captain Brown has over 1,000 hours of fixed wing LDS (RPL) MEL operatiing PIC time .... and in that time has had no medical emergencies onboard

See, aviation has about as many abbreviations as medicine

Random question for those of you older members who've sent flowers... Any idea of how to go about sending flowers to someone who has no physical address? They live in the back of nowhere and only have a PO Box... I'm confuzzled

 

[Shishkabob]

Take a picture of a flower and text it to them. Viola!


PS-- JT when you coming to DFW?

Probably the next time I get out of town and have more than 2 days off. MsP in NOLA is bugging me to get out there to see her too, so it'll be a toss up.

 

[Shishkabob]

I met her back at EMS expo

DFW is on the way to her, so just stop by here and we'll get a drink or 5.

Hmm.. it is about halfway, maybe I can convince her to come out that way. Either way sounds like a plan to me! I'm heading to Expo this year, so I'll meet everyone there I'm hoping
